I have a motometer on my rig also. It does show a little red when going up a long hill. But I have a large radiator and a 4 blade fan.

I read somewhere that to get a better reading, you could cut the end hooks off a brake spring, slip it over the end of the motometer that is in the radiator and it will give you a more correct reading. Don't have an extra spring and have not tried it yet.
